Thanks for the info… The first thing I want to avoid is my enduser machines hitting the internet for downloading packages… So, I prefer having them as RPM files locally and trigger installation of the same… But, in case the RPM installation fails for some reason, then just placing the files at required locations will be my fallback…
Do you see any problems with this approach, that might affect oscap functionality?

These could be extracted from an RPM and manually deployed. But: why not just use the rpm command to install the related RPMs?

In order to get that, I need to run “yum install openscap-scanner” My question here is, though I understand that the scanner comes a rpm bundle here, is there a way I can just get the binaries directly rather than using “yum”… so that I can place the oscap binaries in a folder and run the commands by using the files in this folder. Is this possible? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
